Show starts with Breakfast. Above. That is the food being delivered June 15th. Dar Jewell on the left in the right hand picture operates our BBQ Booth. Dar and crew make the most delicious, slow cooked over oak, cut it with a plastic fork, melt in your mouth, barbeque Tri Tip beef. The white boxes on the deliverymans two wheeler each hold eighteen dozen eggs. Our Vice President Bob Morley, right in above picture, and his crew serve breakfast each show morning.

Parade

Above left three Boy Scout Troops -- Garden Grove Troop 1776, Fountain Valley Troop 567 and Huntington Beach Troop 1134 -- parade our colors. Above right: After entertaining on our stage from 10:30-12:30, the Riverside Concert Band plays our National Anthem. Below left: Driven with reins, using the same movements as managing a team of horses, the Power Horse is a 2500 pound, four wheel drive tractor designed to lure farmers away from horses. Standard horse drawn equipment farmers already owned could be coupled to the Power Horse. Below right: Vice President Bob Morley shows off a tractor cobbled together @ our place decades ago. It tows an equally old gas engine powered vacuum tank we use to empty Porta Johns.

While our Show Theme this year is 30 Years in Vista, for our June Show our Steam Team invoked an Hawaiian Theme Above right: That is Carol and Scott Higgins operating their personal 1916 Russell steam traction engine. Below: We have NEVER had this problem before, but THIS year our show was over run with Floozies, and their rowdy cowboy Outlaw boy friends. Luckily Guajome Gulch has a knowledgeable experienced sheriff. Jim Geggie is a former San Diego County Deputy Sheriff, who now expends all his efforts protecting Guajome Gulch.
